More autumn-like

The temps are moderating - again - but the forecast calls for another hot spell later this week. Last Friday we did get about a half inch of rain, which was welcome, but none is expected in the foreseeable future.

The other day I was examining the oak tree to see if there were any acorns. No nuts, but lots of oak galls. And wasps! That is a phenomenon that I had not observed before. Mother Nature is simply fascinating!

I mowed today, even though it wasn't strictly necessary. The past week has been busy, so I feel like I need to get caught up, or even a bit ahead of myself. Who knew retirement would be so FULL?
